So when Kate’s new- mommy club, Roo & You, holds a dinner cruise, she and her husband leave baby Laurie with Kate’s mom and join the grown-ups for some fine dining on the San Francisco Bay.

A witness identifies the car’s French diplomatic license plates, yet when Kate and her hubby try to get some answers, they get le cold shoulder. But there’s something going on at the French consulate that’s dirtier-and far deadlier-than any diaper.

She gets her chance when San Francisco’s hottest critic writes a particularly scathing review about the trendy new restaurant, Philosophie. The critic’s boyfriend falls to his death under mysterious circumstances from Painted Rock Cliff, and Kate fears that the restaurant critic may be targeted next.

A Witch Called Wanda: Book 1

Famous songwriter, Maeve O’Dare, left the drama of Hollywood – and a broken heart – behind, eager for a fresh start in the small town of Wisteria Pines. As if by magic, she makes a new friend of the local town gossip, lands the perfect spot for her new café, Listen: It’s old Fashioned, and a stray dog named Wanda adopts her right off the bat.

Maeve O’Dare’s fresh start in the small town of Wisteria Pines has gone to the dogs—one dog in particular that is. Wanda, the stray who adopted Maeve the first day she hit town, acts more human than canine and keeps distracting the former songwriter from her newly opened cafe, Listen: It’s Old Fashioned. After the mayor drops dead while eating at the cafe, and scandalous Hollywood tabloids suggest Maeve had something to do with her ex-boyfriend’s mysterious disappearance, Maeve finds herself at the top of the town’s suspect list.

Murder is on the menu for fledgling witch, Maeve O’Dare, when she takes a road trip home to Hollywood with her magical dog, Wanda, and attends a party for a celebrity chef. Female dog Wanda, aka former actor Chuck Lowry, is under a curse by a very dangerous black magic witch. While in Hollywood at a party, the spell is reversed until the full moon, three days away, and he becomes a man again. Like a dog with a bone, he intends to tell Maeve the truth—that she’s the only one with the power to permanently lift the curse. Before he can, however, he’ll have to figure a way of jail!
